UT Health Science Center researchers use ‘brain-on-a-chip’ to revolutionize fight against deadly encephalitis viruses
A transparent chip no larger than a stick of gum is helping scientists at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, an R1 research institution, transform the way researchers study the human brain and develop treatments for some of the world’s deadliest viruses.
Approach to combat antibiotic resistance turns bacterium’s genes against it
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have found a way to use a bacterium’s own drug resistance mechanisms against itself, presenting a potentially safer and more effective way to treat certain antibiotic-resistant infections.
Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and UT Health Science Center apply data expertise to advance knowledge of kidney disease
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated in 2023 that 14% of Americans—more than 35 million people—suffer from chronic kidney disease.
‘Molecular glue’ harnesses the power of the immune system to treat neuroblastoma
Gene expression governs whether neuroblastoma tumor cells exist in either the adrenergic (differentiated and sensitive to treatment) or mesenchymal (less differentiated and therapy-resistant) cell state.
Study refutes blood thinner brain bleed risk after falls in older adults
There are about 70 million baby boomers in the United States, many now over age 65.
Collaboration between University of Tennessee and UT Medical Center could revolutionize breast cancer diagnosis
Researchers in the University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Tickle College of Engineering are using artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide treatment plans to breast cancer patients more quickly by analyzing pathology reports and other clinical records to determine how much breast cancer is in the body.
University of Tennessee faculty use artificial intelligence to solve problems in and outside the classroom
At the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, researchers are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to deliver practical solutions to real-world challenges—from enabling more precise surgeries and quicker scanning for cancer to preparing students and workers for success in an increasingly AI-driven future.
